thanks for the kind words :D i really hope the guide resonates with everyone somehow and the trans voice affirmation gives someone gender euphoria (it applies to everyone, not just transfems i should say)

also sorry to get political on main like this, but speaking as a usamerican transfem, i would really like to not die in march 2025.

real

things are getting bad in the US, I've have to cut off so many friends and family because of this shit.

this is excellent! instead of streaming or having a seperate mp3/vorbis player my phone has a microSD slot. i'll need to get a new one once 4G is retirted but i still plan to keep it as a media machine. PS cast my purple state vote yesterday, hoping for the best

Lovely article! One thing I'd like to throw out there for anyone looking to dephone: You don't need a traditional smartphone! There are modernized flip phones out there that use 4G or even 5G cell data. I've been using a CAT S22 FLIP as my only phone for months and although it runs Android 11, I find it has the capabilities I need from a smartphone and absolutely nothing more. And these things are cheap!

@dogblog "although it runs android 11" XD my galaxy note8 runs android 9 (also I changed the wording in the article to make it sound less like there are no more featurephones)

"although it runs android 11" is really me complaining about how Overly Capable it is on its own .... LOL

I don't know if it is a scraper involved. However the facts of the matter are that Kyle tried at least twice to add "coding assistants" to neocities despite understanding that AI/ML A: Contributes significantly to climate change and B: The neocities crowd is against this kind of stuff, we came here to avoid some the issues that plauge the modern web

C: Kyle has stated on reddit that the plan is only on hold, it could very well still happen

So for the sake of being fair, Kyle acted pretty shady and could have potentially thought about scraping the data or selling it to AI companies to use BUT so far there is no proof of that so thats not what I am saying.

What there is proof of is coding assistants being added to the neocities text editor! These got added under the guise that they help and assist new webdevs HOWEVER the code produced by "coding assistants" is notorious for presenting code that is way more trouble then it's worth. What this will realistically result in is more lower quality web pages that don't function or require more time to fix then code that you-

- could have made yourself

Anyways no, it's was not just autocorrect. When it was functional you would ask it a question, it would give a response based off that question.

"Old lady yells at cloud", hey I've hated smartphones since 2015, i just havent posted about it much.

I heard about PipePipe, but NewPipe had the advantage of being the one I tried first. Also, I have something to add about that reddit post...

...This, dear people, is why I have been recommending splitting up your phone into individual devices for the past 5 years. This reddit post describes basically a part-time job, co-ordinating protections for all the surveillance vectors the corporate feudal state have baked into your phone.
